The Universe

that was awesome, it really illustrates the fact that we are completely insignificant.

I don't really care about all that crap, earth is still the best part of the universe, and I'm the best part of the world. I still think there isn't any life out there, and if there is, it's no consequence because it's much too far away to get too. Whoever said that it doesn't matter if the world is destroyed can eat what exits my ass. This is the world we inhabit, this is the world I inhabit, so it's the best fucking one there is. In fact, just to make sure there's no room for irrelevant thoughts about things that are bigger then we are, let's be perfectly clear: we are the only life in the universe. You can throw your probabilities at me all you like, but it doesn't change the fact that we DO NOT have the right to destroy others from our climate controlled houses. Earth's life is all that matters. When global warming is no longer an issue, when overpopulation is no longer an issue, when us Westerners get our collective heads out of our asses in concern to our own importance relative to other life (including humans), that's when we start thinking about what's out there, when we've made damn sure that what's down here is the best part of the universe. And in fact, even when that day comes, screw the rest of the universe, I'm fine with earth thank you very much. Even if global warming was no longer an issue I would still retire where I was born, not some exotic equatorial beach place we Westerners have saved from abandonment, except for those who went down with the ship. Fuck everything else; I'm the most important part, and anyone else who's with me. The universe can have as many atoms and molecules as it wants, but I'm going to go for quality over quantity. In other words, VY Canis Majoris can suck my cock until I douse its fires with my cum. I could kick it's ass at things that matter anyway, like Zero Hour, and Dawn of War. I know what's right, I don't need some tool telling me that this world is insignificant. This world is the ONLY thing of significance. Everything else pales in comparison to our might. Mother nuckers.

ah yes the first stage of shock and denial

what was the point of your post? justifying your existence or just an attempt to insult people in a vulgar manner(troll) if so i am sorry i fed you and please ignore my post

*edit*
Actually, I'm going to add that my vulgarity was completely called for, because when you suggest that destroying the world is justifiable because there are things that are bigger than it, it's really only a mirror of YOUR vulgarity. If you think that the death of every individual of every species on this planet something you consider justifiable, you are far more vulgar than I. You just used nice, polite words to your vulgarity. However, I did use INCREDIBLY vulgar language, so to anyone reading who does not think that our relative size in the universe makes global warming insignificant, I apoligise to you.
*edit*
Why, were you the one who said that the world doesn't matter because it's so small, so it doesn't matter if it's destroyed? And just to add on that, I was in no way shocked to realise the size of the universe, only that some people here actually took it to mean that the number of atoms outside the world in comparison to it actually make a difference as to what actually matters, here. And I never denied the size of the universe, it sounds like you're insisting that I am "denying" that I am completely insignificant, under the assumption that because there's a lot of stars in the universe, and some of them are really huge, it means the nothing matters. By nothing matters, I mean that the entire world is huge, compared to us, much less being concerned that things are big outside the universe as well. Of course, some big friggin star is already inferior to me, because I'm alive, thus making me superior. There isn't even a comparison, what would make you think that the size of the natural world around you makes you insignificant? When you look at a mountain, do you think "Gee, it's bigger then me, I must not matter."? I climb the friggin thing and put it under my feet, where it belongs. Or is your argument that a sun is SO MUCH bigger then the mountain, that the difference in size makes you insignificant anyway? Or are you trying to convince everyone who has a genuine will to live that they are insignificant and your intellectual inferiors by convincing them that they don't matter? A sun is nothing but a bunch of chemicals that are reacting against each other to make plasma and heat. No more significant than a rock, it just has more atoms, and heat. Also, the larger the star, the less time it has to live. And anyway, the world is far too huge for you anyway, walk a hundred kilometres, look at the scale on your globe, and you'll see just how huge the world is. It really doesn't matter how big you are, all the matters is how big your mind is. And since those huge stars can't possibly support life, earth is the biggest part of the universe. Indeed, the only part of any significance. As far as I'm concerned, the rest of the universe is one giant distraction, and I have ADHD, so the last thing I need is another distraction. Therefore, I shall not think about it, and stay on task, thinking about and doing things that matter.
